If the writers refuse, whatever veterans' committee that exists say, 30 years from now, will likely induct all of them: Bonds, Clemens, McGwire, and possibly even Palmeiro.

We need more info on his PED usage. Was this a one time thing? Or, is this something that he was going for 5 or 6 years? If it's the latter, *maybe* Buster has a case. But, if it's the former, then how can you keep him out when many say guys like Clemens and Bonds will still get in?

Prior to his opt out i was an ARod fanatic to say the least, had my blinders on, yankee coated glasses on and was wishing the guy wud be in the middle of a great post season run. But his opt out bugged me.. i think that was the time for the Yanks to stand up and not renew the association.. but they did and this ongoing negative circus is ridiculous... the guy will have his numbers, but i did think he was clean until today... i want either a firm NO or a confession from him... and ofcourse i find it curious that only his name comes out in the story... the other 103 players are left alone.. SI really has a thing for him i guess... cant believe the Verducci story from 06 too..

Why people look for reasons to hate him (outside of recent developments) is beyond me.
